Study Says Eating Lots of Garlic Makes Men More Desirable to Women

It turns out that garlic, known for its off-putting odor, can actually make men more attractive to women. And yes, there’s a study to prove it.

A 2015 study that is again making its rounds on the internet found that eating lots of garlic can increase men’s desirability among women. Researchers from the University of Stirling and Prague’s Charles University asked 42 men to eat raw garlic, eat garlic capsules, or eat no garlic at all, in rotation. They were then made to wear pads in their armpits for the next 12 hours to collect odor samples.

High garlic consumption can make men more attractive to women.

Eighty-two women were asked to sniff the odor samples and judge their pleasantness, attractiveness, masculinity, and intensity. Results showed that the men who had eaten garlic in bulb and capsule form were “significantly more attractive and less intense” than those who didn’t.

The research was conducted by a team from the University of Stirling and Prague’s Charles University.

The researchers wrote in the journal Appetite, as reported by Telegraph:

“Certainly, breath odour plays a crucial role in most social interactions, but human axillary (armpit) odour is also an important factor in intimate relationships.

“Our results indicate that garlic consumption may have positive effects on perceived body odour hedonicity (the pleasure derived from it), perhaps due to its health effects, for example antioxidant properties and antimicrobial activity.

“From an evolutionary perspective, formation of preferences for diet-associated body odours was possibly shaped by means of sexual selection.”

The Pacific Ring of Fire has always been the subject of immense concern when it comes to earthquakes and recent activity has sparked fears of the "big one" or a massive earthquake within the area.

Quakes have rocked Japan, Guam, and Taiwan and researchers in California are saying that aftershocks can happen, which will produce cluster of tremors on the margins of the area where the quakes have taken place.

It is true that owning a car is quite expensive. You have to consider expenses for periodic maintenance and repairs, among others. And do not forget the resources for upgrades and aesthetics. Speaking of the latter, the most common thing is the paint job.

Interestingly, there is now a way to completely change the color of your vehicle. And no, it does not require you the expertise of a car paint specialist. This is thanks to a product known as peelable car paint. As the name suggests, you can paint and/or peel your car with any color you want.

Women Are Paying Up To $9000 For Cosmetic Surgery To Get ‘Designer Vagina’

Women these days are more willing to pay for cosmetic surgeries just to look better. There's the breast enlargement surgery, lip and cheek fillers, as well as butt enhancements. And then there's also this surgery that rejuvenates the vagina.

Cosmetic surgery, apparently, has moved further south and women's lady bits have become the main focus. It used to be that Kegel exercises are performed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and somehow tighten the vagina but this has been updated into a surgical procedure of vaginal tightening. As women are on the quest to achieve physical perfection, the cosmetic surgery industry has started to offer "designer vaginas."
